Horrifying footage has emerged showing a Malaysian mother repeatedly hitting, kicking and her defenceless ten-month-old daughter.The distressing clip which is just over four minutes in duration has caused fury on the internet, with many users who watched the video labelling the mother as 'sadistic' and 'not fit to be near children.'
A friend of the mother, who was 18 at the time of the incident, had become concerned after witnessing her beating the child previously, so filmed the abuse and took the video evidence to the police.
According to Arjunaidi Mohamed, the chief of police in Petaling Jaya, the mother was 18-years-old when she inflicted the beating on her 10-month-old child in May last year, reported CNN.
He refused to disclose the mother's name, but said she was convicted of child abuse and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
The baby was put into the care of a foster family after her mother's arrest and is now doing 'very well,' said Fatimah Zuraidah Salleh, deputy director of the children division of the Social Welfare Department to CNN. The court will decide whether the mother, who is due to be released in late November, will be allowed to regain custody of the child

This is just horrible. I had to stop halfway through this video and go outside, just crying so hard. Why didn't the people taping just stop her? 18 months? That's is not enough jail time. The worst part is, who knows how long this went on. Who knows that this wasn't a daily thing for that poor baby. I'm glad He is in safe hands now.
